The Velvet Cake Collection.
My attempt at developing a great Red Velvet Cake was such a success that I couldn’t stop there. The texture was so light, moist and tender that I couldn’t help but try other flavour variations.
Since then, I’ve had additional success with lemon, orange and even white (vanilla) versions of this delicious cake. I love lime so with the success of the other citrus versions, that idea was a no-brainer. The raspberry version was an attempt to make a pink cake that worked quite well. I’ve found the best color comes from fresh raspberries in that recipe.
The chocolate version too a bit more tweaking but I had so many requests from readers of Rock Recipes that I just had to perfect that version too. these all taste phenomenal but I think people are really in love with the light, moist texture of these cakes, which is the key to their success.
Pick your favorite version or try them all. They all make outstanding choices for birthday cakes too; one of these will almost certainly please any taste. Am I done with variations of this recipe yet? Maybe not…I already have an idea for another one.

My 12-year-old daughter made the Lemon Velvet cake for me for Mother's Day. I am a lemon-lover and this cake did NOT disappoint. Easily the BEST lemon cake I have ever eaten. We can't wait to try the Orange and Coconut versions!! Thanks Barry!

I as wondering if you have managed a pineapple velvet? I find that the fruit is just too wet for the cake to hold up for more than a day. I get the same results with pears, peaches, and passion fruit. Any suggestions beyond a layer of white chocolate ganache between the fruit and cake.

I just made a checkerboard cake with the lemon velvet and raspberry velvet recipes. It turned out awesome - gorgeous and tastes like pink lemonade!
